[Whitepill] Do you think philosophy is a solution to the nihilism we experience as incels?

Many great men, some of them incels, have come before us.

Perhaps in their writings is a solution, a philosophy by which we can make meaningful lives for ourselves despite the seeming cruelty of this unjust world.

If any knowledgeablecels wanna point me in the right direction i’d be grateful.
 
Philosophy was nevER the answer for anything, its always action
 
no philosophy for your face
 
philosophy is very impractical, i just treat it like other literature that's useless but pretty.
i guess you can read nietzsche if you haven't.

Read Schopenhauer. Go beyond the meme essays on women and pessimism and read 'The World as Will and Representation'. He was undeniably a genius, and the fact that he was blackpilled about women is just an added bonus that proves his awareness of society and his overall intellectual honesty

As incels, do you believe we can live a moral existence?

idk.
most good philosophy wouldn't deal with that question, though.

Does this invalidate his writings?
There's a lot. For me I try to integrate in my life the concept of mortification in the way it was coined by A. Schopenhauer and I try not to fall into the hedonic threadmill as F. Nietzsche put it. I try to orient my actions under the scope of moral intellectualism (Plato) and try to be virtuous in the way Aristotle saw it. I also take from A. Camus his absurdist outlook on a life without meaning and rebelling against it anyways and some Stoic and Buddhist conceptions about suffering and desire... The more you read about philosophy, the better. I can't recommend an specific one. And I am only naming philosophers, not psychologists.

Maybe start with A. Camus The myth of Sisyphus. It's a pretty basic one and definitely a must read.

Another must read right there.

Thanks for your response.

You're applying 21st century standards of inceldom to the 19th century. Even a lot of people on this forum wouldn't be incels in that era.
 
Philosophy is just sophisticated coping

He still had a better life than you by far, and now here you are sucking the ghost of his dick like fucking idiot

So you can't acknowledge the intellect and insight of someone's writing because they had a better life than you? Okay, then you can't enjoy any literature, art, music, or anything, because the guy who made it had a better life than you and complementing his work would be "sucking the ghost of his dick".

He was a good writer, yes, but I don't go out of my way to praise him like he was a divine enlightened chad. Besides, what's so awesome about his philosophy aside from his writing? "Life sucks, it's better not to be born at all, women are trash, art is a good cope" I figured all that out as a teen, it isn't a big revelation. Stop being a pathetic cuck ffs

You obviously haven't read his work if you think his entire metaphysics can be reduced to that. And you're the one being an insecure cuck if you can't even let yourself admit when someone is highly intelligent and insightful. Also, OP asked for philosophy recommendations and I gave him one, I don't see why that made you irrationally seethe like a retard.

Metaphysics is nothing more than mental masturbation, that's why I didn't include it in my summary of his so awesome philosophy. Keep coping hard faggot

Yeah yeah, everything is cope. So insightful bro. Why don't you sit in an empty room and stare into space all day to make sure you never do anything that might accidentally be "cope"?
 
your avi is a chad and it has an optimistic message at the bottom, shame on you
 
you’d have to go into spiritual philosophy and religious texts.
 
I think gnosticism is the final whitepill. It says this life is a great illusion but we are forced to live and participate in it because the demiurge has trapped our souls in matter. An incel is condemned to live in an ugly body with autistic brains, because his suffering brings loosh energy for archons. Upon death some will stop existing (NPCs), some will reincarnate, but a select few can stop the cycle and they are allowed to return to the true God (not Allah/Jehova/whatever).

Gnosticism also says that in order to escape from the illusion of this life you need to transmute your sexual energies (with the help of a loving partner) or else you'll be stuck in this hell for eternity. It's over, you dumb coper
 
Its just a cope like others

Not all gnostic sects. Some were even antinatalist

Philosophy can be a good tool in helping you cope. You just need to be able to understand it and apply it to your specific life circumstances and not see the abstract philosophy itself as the answer.

I've been meaning to read the meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and re-read Nietzsche for a long time now, but I'm lazy and read way less than I should.

This. Schopenhauer said everything there is to say about the world and life and how you can handle it. Incredibly high IQ.

He was a good writer, yes, but I don't go out of my way to praise him like he was a divine enlightened chad. Besides, what's so awesome about his philosophy aside from his writing?

I have no idea how you can just completely neglect his epistemology. You also forget, that for his time his thought was revolutionary. It may seem obvious to you in our modern society, but back then it was not. Heck, even today his view is only shared by a small minority. Pessimism was never popular even if it's unarguably the only reasonable position. If you had lived before his time, you could have gotten all the praise for uncovering the truth about life, if everything was so obvious to you back then. You just have to give credit, where credit is due. His writings are just absolutely relevant for every incel.
